Will 2,958 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hello again everyone! Another week, another set of predictions. Don't know whether anyone else went to the Doncaster match last night, but it was a very enjoyable experience and i thought that Billy Sharp deserved to score the fantastic goal that he did. Anyway, on with the predictions: Blackpool v Millwall - H Bristol City v Burnley - A Cardiff v Crystal Palace - H Coventry v Southampton - A Hull v West Ham - A Ipswich v Doncaster - H Peterborough v Derby - H Portsmouth v Nott'm Forest - A Middlesbrough v Watford - H (Robson) Port Vale v Swindon - A Link to post Share on other sites

Oslo_Syd 320 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well, I tried my best to get Paphos back to the PL but it doesn't look as if he's interested. Here's what he had to say: "Who knows one day I might be in the mood to have another go in the predictions league, but right now I am just happy following the Boro on the Boro + website on matchdays. You can say hello to the others on my behalf if you wish mate." Consider it said. Link to post Share on other sites
Welshy 34 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Cheers, Oslo. Good to hear from Paphos, and should he ever wish to return then the door is always open :) Okay, so I've had a tinker with the fixture dates for the matchplay Divisions. Now I'm leaving the option open for 24 in each Division, and leaving 6 fixture dates aside for the PL Cup which Alex will be running. If you don't need them all Alex, then do let me know. 6 fixture dates for the PL Cup would allow for a knockout if this is Alex's wish. I.e. Prelimenary Round, Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Final. This amount of fixture dates will then cover Alex regardless of if the Cup is a knockout or of another nature. Saturday 3rd December - Round 1 Saturday 10th December - Round 2 Saturday 17th December - Round 3 Monday 26th December - Round 4 & Round 5 (Boxing Day Special - Premier League & Championship Fixtures) Saturday 31st December - Round 6 Monday 2nd January - Round 7 Saturday 7th January - Round 8 & Round 9 (FA Cup 3rd Round Special) Saturday 14th January - PL Cup Saturday 21st January - Round 10 Saturday 28th January - Round 11 Saturday 4th February - PL Cup Saturday 11th February - Round 12 Saturday 18th February - Round 13 Saturday 25th February - PL Cup Saturday 3rd March - Round 14 Saturday 10th March - Round 15 Saturday 17th March - PL Cup Saturday 24th March - Round 16 Saturday 31st March - Round 17 Saturday 7th April - Round 18 Monday 9th April - Round 19 Saturday 14th April - PL Cup Saturday 21st April - Round 20 Saturday 28th April - Round 21 & Round 22 (Double Header - Championship & League 1 Fixtures) Saturday 5th May - PL Cup Sunday 13th May - Round 23 (Premier League Fixtures) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alex - The Little Red Hen Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Welshy, 6 weeks should be enough just may require a little bit of editing. Leave it with me and I will sort it out in early January based on your schedule which I have saved on my computer. Can i just check, do you want this years PL cup done in a particualar way or would you rather it be left to me? I dont mind either way - I would be interested in trying something different from what we have had so far... Link to post Share on other sites
Welshy 34 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hi Alex, well I can always add another Double Header Saturday if that would help you out especially if your ideal number of weeks is 7. Also of course, I'm covering for 24 per league, so if we don't have that number it could free up weeks - however I suspect that we'll have 23/24 in at least one of the Divisions - so that could be a no go. But yea double headers (for want of a better term) are cool - as I can dip into Premier League/League 1 fixtures. So do feel welcome to let me know if I can help in that aspect. I'm very happy to let you have full charge of how the cup will run, and would you be okay to do fixtures/results as it will give me a breather. Although of course I will assist if you ever require any help. The PL Cup can be your baby, Alex, and that's for as long as I organise the PL (which I hope will be for a good few years).

Guest Alex - The Little Red Hen Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Im sure 6 is fine if it works best for the whole year but there is plenty of time to get it all sorted out as its a fair way off, leave it with me and consider those cup dates sorted. Think you will need a break from time to time, it certainly takes alot of time and effort! Link to post Share on other sites
